Chapter 101 The follow-up caused by the tree demon
The withered tree flashed with a charming light under the night sky. The moonlight drooped down from the void and was absorbed by the big tree. From a distance, the moonlight looked like a pillar, and there was a kind of ripples in the void, just like someone was breathing.
The big tree was thundered, and all the branches like canopy disappeared, leaving only the scorched earth-like trunk. At this moment, it was swallowing and spitting the power of the moon, which looked extremely strange no matter how you looked.
At this moment, the two little guys knelt on the ground, and the coldness appeared in their bloody pupils, and they were about to punch their fists and hit them like their chests.
Bang! Bang!
In an instant, two stones came into the air and hit the two little guys. They fell to the ground immediately. Xia Tuo ran from the dark and grabbed the two little guys and retreated.
Soon, behind him, Li and a team of soldiers also appeared from the darkness, and figures scattered one after another, and the strong bow in his hand pulled into a full moon, and the arrows flashed with coldness.
Everyone looked at Xia Tuo. After all, it was the first time they saw such a strange thing. An old tree withered was breathing like a human being, especially in the deep mountains and forests at night, which was really scary.
Xia Tuo also saw several soldiers trembling legs and feet, and their hands holding big bows were trembling. I guess if he hadn't been here, he would have been scared away long ago.
This is normal. The old tree turns into a demon. For any tribe, the demon is an unknown existence, because it is terrifying because it is unknown.
At this moment, the demon-killing order in Xia Tuo's hand flashed with light, telling him clearly that the old tree in front of him had become a demon, or that it should be in the transformation of a demon.
"Rocket."
Immediately afterwards, Xia Tuo kicked Li, and Li reacted and kicked the person next to him. The tribe members who reacted immediately opened the animal oil in the bamboo tube on their backs and replaced it with arrows made of wolf bark trees.
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh!
However, in this moment, the ground trembled, and the roots of trees rushed out from under the ground like big snakes, raising the soil to welcome many soldiers.
"put!"
Xia Tuo snatched the crossbow of the warrior next to him, first threw the bamboo tube filled with beast oil towards the old tree, and then shot out the arrow in his hand. The flames exploded over the old tree and the fire rained in the sky.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The rain of fire fell, making the old tree make a harsh sound.
The roots protruding from the earth shrank back as if they were tingling, but the harsh sound made people dizzy.
ah!
Ahhhh~~
...
In an instant, the soldiers around them couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands. The harsh sound seemed to have let them take the strength of their bodies, and their bodies were tilted one by one.
After a while, the retracted tree roots made a comeback again, like dancing ground dragons, sweeping across the four directions, instantly knocking out the three tribe soldiers.
clang!
Xia Tuo grabbed a copper knife and cut off the roots that emerged from the ground. The roots in the sky were thrown up, and then quickly shriveled into old tree bark.
"Continue, don't stop!"
When Li heard Xia Tuo's order, he commanded the active tribe members to learn well. He learned how Xia Tuo had just sprinkled beast oil at the old tree, and then released the flame feathers. Soon, with the help of the beast oil, the flames filled the sky.
Soon, Xia Tuo retreated and signaled his clan members to step forward and began to chop the roots of the old tree. The roots were like ground dragons, hitting the clan soldiers. Even so, as long as there was no life-threatening danger, he was not taking action.
He felt that this was an opportunity to let the tribe members know or understand the demon.
In his opinion, killing demons is not a matter of one person. Perhaps some tribe members have never seen monsters in their lives, but they must know that monsters are the enemy of human race.
This little tree demon seems to have just been psychic and can be used to practice, which can also be regarded as letting the tribe members know what a demon is.
squeak!
A bucket of beast oil spilled and flames ignited. At this time, the clan soldiers had recovered from the panic. Although the old tree was strange, it stood there and could not move, but they could control crossbows to attack from a distance.
After the old tree was ignited, Xia Tuo saw a tender bud about one foot swaying in the flames on the trunk, emitting a faint red light, and a faint phantom was jumping, making a harsh sound.
Crackling.
Unfortunately, under the watering of animal oil, the fire became bigger and bigger, and the flames wrapped the entire old tree. The illusory shadows outside the buds on the trunk turned into bubbles in the flames, and soon the buds withered completely in the flames.
The fire kept burning, waiting until the old tree was left with only a stump like coke. The clan soldiers carefully headed towards the charred stump.
Li kicked off the tree stump and fell to the ground. He saw a crystal the size of a small nail appeared in the dark charcoal, and quickly picked it up and handed it to Xia Tuo.
Xia Tuo looked at the black black tree stump in front of him. The Demon-killing Order in his hand burst into light, and a black air flow was drawn out from the stump and penetrated into the Demon-killing Order.
The Thunder Tree Demon was tempered by thunder and was psychic.
The information from the Demon-killing Order soon made him know the old tree's legs and the old tree demon, but unfortunately he was in the process of the most metamorphosis and could not leave his body. Otherwise, once its metamorphosis is completed, it will be even more troublesome.
"Let's go."
Waving his hand, Xia Tuo led his clan soldiers back towards the valley. The injured clan soldiers supported each other and followed behind, but everyone's eyes were filled with strange divine light.
This scene tonight is really unforgettable.
Back in the stone cave in the valley, Xia Tuo pinched the demon core of the old tree and showed contemplation. Speaking of the strength of the old tree is a small matter, what really made him care about was why the demon appeared again, and the long-lost sense of urgency lingered in his heart again.
"Class leader."
"Have both teenagers settled?"
Xia Tuo looked up at Li.
"Yeah, settled."
"Tomorrow you will take the soldiers who have been hunting tree demons tonight and return to the tribe to the Witch Palace to find Qiao'er, so that everyone can record the scene and ideas of seeing the tree demon, including yours."
"I understand, patriarch."
Although I didn't quite understand what Xia Tuo meant, Li nodded.
"I will ask Hong to arrange another group of soldiers to guard the valley."
...
On the second day, after returning to the tribe, Xia Tuo came to the Totem Hall. There was a large stone platform in the center of the first floor of the Totem Hall, which was specially used as a writing platform.
There are blank animal skin rolls and pens on the stone platform.
When he arrived at the stone platform, he spread out a brand new animal skin scroll and recorded the various tree demons he saw last night ink.
At this time, the words he used were no longer the words from his previous life, but the wizard script learned from Qiaoer. This kind of words was similar to the hieroglyphs he saw in his previous life.
Of course, in terms of the proficiency of the chief clan Xia's pen, the writing is still similar to that of a dog crawling. Although the writing is not very beautiful, it can be recognized by people.
He recorded all the tree demons and the demons he killed not long ago, and wanted to be used as a basis for future generations.
Perhaps this approach seems very naive, but if the Xia tribe can be passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, then the younger tribesmen will encounter a crisis and take out these records of the ancestors and may find a solution.
Hundreds of years later, these animal skin scrolls are inherited.
The reason why he asked Qiao'er to record the experience of the totem warrior he had with him last night was also to serve as a reference. After all, he was not very clear about the demons, and the tribe members in the tribe were even more unclear. These records might be useful.
"Uncle, the patriarch."
At noon, Qiao'er came to the inheritance hall with a bunch of animal skin rolls in her arms. Seeing Xia Tuo writing something, she tiptoed and came to the stone platform to look at the animal skin roll.
"The tree demon... can use fire attack from a long distance...with beast oil..."
Qiaoer muttered in a low voice, and her eyes lit up soon.
"You can also use the witchcraft fire talisman."
Xia Tuo put the pen back, looked at Qiaoer and asked, "Have you recorded it all?"
"Um."
Qiao'er wrinkled her little nose, looked unhappy, and hummed with a heavy nasal tone: "Qiao'er hasn't seen a demon yet!"
Xia Tuo picked up the animal skin scroll recorded by Qiao'er casually and opened it and looked at it. It was still... not bad, at least it was written clearly.
Seeing Xia Tuo paying attention to him, Qiaoer continued, "Uncle, those guys started talking when they came back from the tribe. Now the entire tribe has heard about what happened last night. Is the monster really scary?"
"Yeah, it's scary."
Xia Tuo glanced at Qiaoer and said, "Eat a child."
Qiao'er was stunned, her big eyes dodged for a while before saying, "I am not afraid, I am about to become a wizard!"
Xia Tuo picked up all the animal skin rolls and walked towards the stone bookshelf next to him. There were many bookshelf in the stone hall, and they were clearly divided in rows.
The Ministry of War, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Distant, Ministry of Martial Arts, and Ministry of Beasts, but there were not many animal skin scrolls on each row. Xia Tuo came to a blank bookshelves, took out a dagger and carved the two words "Demon" on the stone, and then placed the animal skin scroll on the bookshelf.
The fact that the tribe spread the monster was as expected, otherwise he would not have transferred this group of soldiers from the human palace.
We simply took this opportunity to let the tribe members know about the monsters, so as not to panic in the future.
After doing all this, he called the deer again, asking him to pay close attention to the changes in the mountains and forests, the thunderous lands, and the dark places in the valleys to see if there is anything strange.
"Class leader, there are now 370 soldiers from the Anterior tribe, including more than 120 totem warriors. Most of them have been sent out by me, but the mountains are endless and I can't check it out at all."
In the clan hall, Xia Tuo also sighed.
This is the dilemma of the Xia tribe. It is insufficient staff. It seems that there are more than 2,000 people in the tribe. More than half of the women, children, young and old are eliminated, and the rest are young and strong.
Among these young and strong people, except for the Ancient and Military Affairs Department, the giant bargain brought no less than a hundred people every time. There was no way for a large number of goods to be protected by strong protection.
There is also a need to take into account the human palace. Now Hong and his tribe members are hunting while opening up the artificial river. Fortunately, the women in the tribes in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Medicine Hall can work hard.
